Paper: Modelling Computations: A 2-Categorical Framework (at LICS 1987)

Authors: Robert A. G. Seely

Abstract

An introduction to 2-categories is given by illustrating how the structure of typed lambda calculus may naturally be viewed as a 2-category. In this vein, the structure of computations or conversions gives rise to notions of lax 2-adjointness.
